Hey Everyone,

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v74 started to roll out today for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S.

If you're seeing an issue or bug after updating to PTC v74:

1) For issues: Go to our Get Help board and search for any existing thread on the issue, if you don't find one, make a new thread. Please add the tag "PTC v74" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v74 issues too.

2) For bugs: If you come across a bug, please post each one you spot in its own thread, to keep track of individual issues separately. Please make sure to also send in bug reports along with posting on the forums if you notice anything going wrong.

Share your impressions in the comments below and let us know if you see any issues.

We know it's tough when you run into a problem on a PTC build and want to thank you all again for testing out PTC and sharing your feedback! This feedback is extremely helpful to our engineering teams. We appreciate your interest and persistence in testing out the core functionality of software as we develop!

TomCgcmfc your probably right. I'm guessing the majority of the problems is the PCVR link.

Right now my Passthrough issue is looking at a phone and seeing white line moving horizontal like an old TV static.

Is there any point in posting a bug on here anymore ? do meta read these or do we need to send bug reports via another method now ? Well just in case someone is reading, since updating to v74 you can't install APK's inside the headset anymore! it opens a blank window and does nothing! (this has been reported on other sites by other users too) For example Quest Games Optimizer no longer can update itself (developer has noted this on his web-page due too v74)

Moriarti4 Quest Games Optimizer site stated "when installing the application with Mobile VR Station" I don't use Mobile VR Station to install QGO the last time I installed it. But another thing, it depends on if QGO support V74, since it's still on PTC, meaning Meta haven't fully released the firmware to all software to support it.

I was only using QGO as an example of a larger issue..with apk installs. Check reddit threads etc for more examples.

I had a feeling this was going to happened, since I noticed v74 was change into v74.0.

Instead of the normal restart after installing, it just download directly into my headset, no restart popped up. It's up to date, showing the V74.1017 and the build number lol
